Kesh (uncut hair) Sikhs do not cut their hair as it is a symbol of purity & holiness. Uncut hair, and wearing a turban are symbols that show that you are a Sikh.

Kara (a steel bracelet) Symbolises an unbreakable bond with God. A Sikh must only do Gods work in accordance with the Holy Scripture. It also makes you think that you must not do wrong things.

Kanga (a wooden comb) This symbolises keeping the body clean, neat and tidy. This is important to Sikhs as God created your body and would want you to look after it.

Kaccha (cotton underwear) A type of breeches (shorts) worn by Sikhs. They are a symbol of purity & high moral character

Kirpan (Ceremonial sword) This sword represents the fight against evil. It also represents the fight against injustice and how Sikhs must defend the weak.
